What happens to your metabolism when you have the fever?

Does it increase or decrease?: should you eat more or less?

your metabolism increases because your body is working harder to stabilize your body temperature. It would make sense to eat more to avoid weight loss; however, i have also heard you are supposed to starve a fever?!?
